Overton Black Arrows' chosen charity is currently Dive Ability who try to improve the lives of disabled and disadvantaged people through scuba diving, giving participants a sense of freedom in the water they wouldn’t ordinarily have.

​

We've been raising money this year to try and help raise funds for a new hoist which is needed to help get people in and out of the water by asking people to go for a walk - how easy could we make it?

​​

We didn't ask people to walk for miles, just a mere 5metres - no no tired and sore legs or feet right?

​​

​​Well we teamed up with FireWalk to offer people the chance to do, what was probably, the shortest sponsored walk people had ever done!

​​

But, the 5metre walk was;

a challenge,

a once in a lifetime event,

empowering,

a big tick on your bucket list,

exhilarating.
